  1. Open Microsoft Word.
  2. Create the Question and Options:
    • Type your question.

  3. Set Up Columns:
    • Highlight the area where you want to apply columns (including the question and options).
    • Go to the “Layout” or “Page Layout” tab.
    • Click on “Columns” and select the number of columns you want (e.g., Two).
  4. Adjust the Layout:
    • If needed, you can adjust the width of the columns by dragging the column boundaries in the ruler or using the “Columns” options for more precise settings.

    • Enter your questions in the first column and options in the second column.
  3. Format the Table:
    • Adjust the column widths to fit the text.
    • If you want the options to appear in columns within a single cell, you can adjust the text wrapping and alignment.
